Love the slop free guarantee! And some of my best ideas for my historical mystery plots have come from rabbit holes I went down while doing basic research for the books. Of course this makes it even easier for me to justify jumping down them as a form of procrastination from actually doing the writing.

Dear Benjamin,

Another great quote batch here!

Some of my faves:

“Life is a maze in which we take the wrong turn before we have learnt to walk.”

— Cyril Connolly

“We can be offered only two kinds of information — what we already know, which is boring, and what we do not, which is humiliating.”

— Quentin Crisp

“The brain that doesn’t feed itself eats itself.”

— Gore Vidal

“There are popemobile moments everywhere for those with eyes to see.”

— Annie Rauwerda

Thank you for sharing as always!

Love

Myq
